Reading make loan bid for City striker

Vital Reading understands that Reading have made a loan bid for Manchester City’s John Guidetti.

The Swedish international was watched by officials from Reading in their under 21 encounter with City two weeks ago, where the forward scored in City’s 3-1 victory. A loan bid has been made for Guidetti, with Jason Roberts struggling for fitness and Simon Church surplus to requirements at the Madejski Stadium.

Guidetti spent last season on loan at Dutch top division side Feyenoord, where he scored a very impressive 20 goals in 23 appearances. The 20-year old is very renowned at Manchester City, despite only making one appearance for the club in the League Cup.
